Legit.ng has compiled the experiences of three such tourists who shared how they used the Nigerian passport to travel to Cameroon and Togo.

A Nigerian lady identified on TikTok as Favour journeyed from Lagos to Lome, Togo using her Nigerian passport.
Favour said she spent N27,750 as transportation fare, travelling through the Seme Border.
She explained on TikTok:
"As a frequent Lagos-Southeast traveller, you won’t believe my shock when I realized it costs way less to travel to Togo. I decided to cut my coat according to my size and break up the trip the way I did. There are direct buses to Togo from different terminals in Lagos, including Mile 2, costing upwards of N40,000."
2. Nike travelled to Lome with Nigerian passport
Another lady, identified as Nike, travelled to Togo using her Nigerian passport.

She spent N38,000 both as transportation fare and immigration charges for stamping her Nigerian passport.
Nike stated:
"The exchange rate for the Franc CFA right now is another crazy thing that would make you spend more than double of what you’re meant to spend. Please hold your Yellow Fever Vaccination card, if you’re using your passport. Cost Summary: Stamping my virgin passport cost N4,000 in Benin Republic and 4,000 CFA (N8,880) in Togo. Transport was N5,000 to Benin Republic (bike from Badagry), then 9,000 CFA (N19,980) into Lome."
3. Toke travelled to Cameroon via bus
Although Cameroon is in Central Africa, it is one of the countries that admits Nigerians without visas.
A lady who is a tourist shared her experience travelling to Cameroon.
Toke posted a video showing her time in Limbe and Yaounde and how she interacted with the locals while eating street food.
Toke had said of the food after spending 500cfa:
"Dear Cameroonians, what else should I try on the street in Cameroon? What 500cfa can buy for you on the street of Cameroon? I am loving my days here in Cameroon."
Toke had previously travelled to the Republic of Guinea, and she also shared her experience touring the country.
The stories of tourists visiting interesting African countries from Nigeria often draw comments from their followers. Some can't wait to visit these countries and also share their experiences.
